Fresh From Prom, Hill Set To Date "The Lady In Black"

While his FAS Lane Racing team was
in Talladega last week battling Mother Nature, rookie NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
driver Timmy Hill went to prom.

Timmy and his girlfriend, Lucy
Kennedy, attended prom at Ragsdale High School in Jamestown, North Carolina last
Saturday night. This weekend, Hill will trade his tuxedo for a nomex firesuit
and full-face helmet, strapping in his No. 32 OXYwater Ford for a date with
another lady, the legendary "Lady
in Black," South Carolina’s Darlington Raceway.

"With Terry Labonte taking the
wheel at Talladega, that left me with an off weekend," stated Timmy.
"Normally I am at the racetracks supporting my other FAS Lane Racing
teammates, but last weekend I stayed in North Carolina to go to prom. Lucy and
I had a great time dancing the night away, but I am ready to get down with it
at Darlington."

Hill, the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide
Series Rookie of the Year, has two previous starts at Darlington in Nationwide
competition; both Top-20 finishes.

"Darlington is a tough track,
but I consider it one of my favorites," said Hill. "In my Nationwide
Series rookie season, I didn't know what to expect. But after making my first
laps on the track, I knew I liked it. I know that racing at Darlington in a
Sprint Cup car will be a different challenge, but I am definitely up for it.
With what I have learned already this year I look for another strong run in our
No. 32 OXYwater Ford and my best finish of the year."
